Abstract
This invention relates to shelters which are readily adaptable in size and configuration to define an environment, preferably about plants, to control the amount of radiation, humidity, temperature and ventilation and to inhibit intrusion into the defined environment by deleterious vectors such as insects, unwanted microorganisms, weed seeds and the like.
Claims21
A structure for defining a controlled environment which comprises:
- a skeletal framework formed of pipe-like members, at least some of said members having a plurality of disk-like ribs secured therein, the ribs secured within the pipe in spaced apart relationship by adhesives, the outer edges of the ribs having grooves and the adhesives are received in the grooves;
- and
- tiers secured to the framework to define the enclosed environment, said tiers each comprising a saddle secured to some of said members, ribbons secured to the saddle and extending downwardly, the ribbons extending from one end of the saddle to the other, the ribbons configured to allow moisture and air therethrough, to control radiation entering the controlled environment and further said ribbons being treated to inhibit the entry of deleterious substances into the defined environment.
A structure for defining a controlled environment which comprises:
- a skeletal framework formed of pipe-like members, at least some of said members having a plurality of disk-like ribs secured therein, the ribs secured within the pipe in spaced apart relationship and rods secured to the ribs to enhance the strength of the ribs;
- and
- tiers secured to the framework to define the enclosed environment, said tires each comprising a saddle secured to some of said members, ribbons secured to the saddle and extending downwardly, the ribbons extending from one end of the saddle to the other, the ribbons configured to allow moisture and air therethrough, to control radiation enetering the controlled environment and further said ribbons being treated to inhibit the entry of deleterious substances into the defined environment.
